One Drop
Based in Cairns
About this act
Six pieces, Cairns based, and a reggae repertoire built from the road. One Drop Reggae Band have supported UB40, O'Yaba and Lucky Dube, and those catalogues sit right through the setlist alongside Peter Tosh, Toots and the Maytals, Alpha Blondy and Gregory Isaacs. Their own songs go in too, among them Find You on the Other Side, My People, Teach Them and Hit You with My Music. This is an Indigenous Australian band playing the music properly, with three vocal microphones, three keyboards, steel pan, bass, guitar and drums when the full rig goes up. Suits festivals, functions, parties and any room in far north Queensland that wants the tempo to sit right in the pocket all night.
